James,
I am wondering if there needs to be new or additional blocker criteria
since systemd is now default with F15. My reasoning is: with F14 and
before, monitoring LVM snapshots was not a problem and shutdowns/reboots
simply stopped the lvm2-monitor. Now since there is a conflict
introduced with systemd vs lvm2-monitor (bz 681582), the up-to-5 minute
delay in shutdown/reboot could cause users to believe there is a problem
that needs fixing and they may spend an inordinate amount of time trying
to find the problem. I looked at the release criteria and didn't see
anything that would fit the new systemd scenario.
I know you indicated in the bz that it qualifies as an Nth for final,
but it seems systemd vs the old services start/stop methods calls for
some specific criteria.
What do you think? Should I just go away and color in my coloring book
or is there something here? Reading the bz, looks like the fix is
pretty much straighforward based on Lennart's comments.
